My Holland Code

C = Conventional. I like to work with data and numbers, am detail-oriented, and am good at following instructions.

I = Investigative. I like to learn, figure out how things work, and solve problems.

A = Artistic. I have a bit of an artistic bent, using intuition and imagination. I'm a visual person.
